When a pair of owners decided to play a cute Halloween prank on a Golden Retriever named Jolene, they weren’t sure what they were in for.
The video begins with Jolene happily playing with her Gumby toy.

But then her Dad, dressed as a life-size version of the doll, enters the room.

Jolene stands up cautiously, immediately recognizing the gigantic version of her toy, but is initially unsure of what to make of it.

But once she figures out that the toy is friendly, her excitement takes over.

“Jolene she’s real!” Mom exclaims as the happy dog practically tackles the disguised over.
The other dog comes over to investigate the commotion, but happy Jolene is clearly the star of the show. She is overwhelmed with doggy joy that her favorite toy is “real” and can actually play with her.

We can only hope they kept the costume and maybe stuffed it. Especially since there may be no way Jolene goes back to the old toy after seeing the “real life” version.
See Jolene’s adorable reaction in the video below. If you love happy dog videos, please share this story!
